By Integrative Medicine (IM) we understand the synergy between Conventional and Natural Medicine. It is, therefore, a discipline that uses procedures supported by scientific and methodological rigor from both Conventional and Natural Medicine – in our case: Acupuncture/Traditional Chinese Medicine, Phytotherapy (plants), Homeopathy and Medical Nutrition – as well as Neurosensory Stimulation techniques (Psycho-audiology): Tomatís Techniques.
The objective of IM is the achievement and maintenance of health and well-being through the approach, or combination of approaches, that allow maximum efficiency (Effectiveness/Cost) with the minimum presence of side and/or undesirable effects, from a strict viewpoint of individualization of situations and insisting, in a proactive way, on prevention and on the approach to the human being as a whole, considering, as a whole, the physical, psychological and emotional aspects of the person, both in health and in disease.
This is a challenging objective from the point of view of knowledge, training and logistics, since it requires preparation in various conventional and natural medical disciplines, but the results obtained make the subject exciting and more than justify the extra effort invested.
The fact that IM is in medical hands is a guarantee of efficacy and safety, since it avoids the potentially serious dangers derived from the professional intrusion of supposedly non-medical naturopaths who are unaware, due to the obvious lack of regulated training, of the medical details of the pathologies they treat – which are studied in depth in medical school: 6 years, and MIR specialization: from 3 to 5 years and in their inherent continuing education – as well as the behavior of conventional medical treatments and their interactions with natural remedies, which can sometimes be very intense.
The scope of action of IM encompasses many aspects of the usual medical work but, for reasons of precision, we will focus on the environment of our specialty. Thus, as pioneers in IM, we bring our experience in the Integrative Treatment of: speech and language development problems, psychomotor retardation, school maladjustment, hyperactivity, attention disorders, intelligibility problems (with or without hypoacusis), listening disorders, dysphonia, mood disorders, anxiety, headaches, headache and anxiety disorders, headaches and TMJ disorders, vertigo and instabilities, tinnitus, hyperacusis, allergies, sleep disorders, recurrent infections, prevention and treatment of physical, psychological and emotional adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, facial paralysis…
